A trio of taste awaits. Ice cold and sparkling, tangy and bittersweet. The Dark & Stormy!
While I was in the British Virgin Islands Captain Jaime told me about the Dark & Stormy cocktail. He said that the drink got its name from a boat race called the Dark and Stormy Regatta to Anegada in the British Virgin Islands.
I’m not sure how true the story is but I did enjoy listening.

Ingredients you’ll need to make a Dark & Stormy
This tropical cocktail Dark and Stormy is made with dark rum, ginger beer and lime juice. It’s a twist to a Moscow Mule, which uses Vodka. The dark rum gives it a richer taste.
